Book Description

Erec Rex
Trouble is brewing in quiet, pleasant Alypium, and only Erec Rex can make it better. All of the baby dragons have mysteriously disappeared, and King Piter has lost the trust of his people. Worse, the evil Stain brothers will become the new rulers of the Kingdom of the Keepers unless Erec returns to Alypium and challenges them. but if Erec becomes king, the power of the royal scepter could destroy him completely.

As Erec performs deadly quests in pursuit of the throne, he discovers that the right path brings many risks and few rewards -- and when he must delve into the Substance that holds our world together, he must summon all of his strength just to survive.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Kaza Kingsley won't let down fans of Erec Rex with this lively, imaginative sequel to The Dragon's Eye. It's a rollicking good read, with many layers that unfold into a captivating ending. The engaging characters, suspense, humor and vivid descriptions make it a great book for all ages. -- Maria Schneider, Editor-in-Chief, Writers Digest

Monsters of Otherness is an awesome adventure, full of twists and turns, cool characters, mystery, and a lot of fun. Erec follows his heart when it's not an easy thing to do, and goes against the odds to do what's right. This is a wildly exciting book with pedal to the metal attitude! -- Devon Werkheiser, "Ned," Star of Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide"

The Monsters of Otherness is a truly captivating story. Every time you turn the page, you find yourself wondering what Erec Rex is going to do next. All the elements of a great story are included, from adventure to fantasy, with just the right amount of friendship. This is a new favorite for me! -- Allen Alvarado, star of Discovery Kids' "Flight 29 Down"

The story is a worthy addition to the fantasy genre; the hero is compelling and the quests require bravery, intelligence and agility from Erec and his friends. The characters elicit strong responses from the readers: kinship for Erec as he struggles to adapt to a new world, admiration for Bethany's intelligence and loyalty, disgust at Baskania's body bulging with stolen eyes. Young readers will be intrigued by a world filled with magic, friendship and thought-provoking adventures. -- Children's Literature

[Erec Rex is] buoyed up by unusually clever details - paper mail delivered by snails, for instance, and a magic toilet dubbed Al's Well into which Erec has to reach to receive his [quests.] That, along with a notably quirky supporting cast and plenty of heroic behavior, combines to carry readers through. -- Kirkus Reviews --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The amazing Erec Rex strikes again!!!, September 26, 2007
Erec Rex and the Monsters of Otherness is AMAZING!!! Absolutely stupendous! The plot thickens with every turn. I don't want to ruin the book for you but I will say that with every page read, and every dilemma solved another even more interesting mystery is created in its place. This causes the reader to be sucked into the world of Apium. A world where clouds like snacks are a regular dish, everyone has a magical ability, and a cloud of mystery awaits our hero Erec at every turn. This book will have you glued to your seat until the inevitable end, which will leave you anxiously awaiting the third installment in the series.
This book will be compared to Harry Potter, The Lightning Thief, The Nightmare Academy and so many other outstanding books it becomes so much more. Kara Kingsley creates a brand new world, different than anything ever seen before. Colorful imagery, enchanting descriptions, and lovable characters will lead this book to great success.
My advice is to get it as soon as it comes out!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, too many unsolved mysteries, December 11, 2007
By 
Leora (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Erec Rex is filled with action right from the start, just like its predecessor. It has some new and interesting characters, the most notable among them being Rosco Croc, Oscar's tutor. Rosco had a great beginning; but what happened to him in the end was extremely predictable. My biggest problem with the book was that, just like its predecessor, it had many unanswered questions. All that this book did was open up more questions without answers. The book's ending improved greatly over The Dragon's Eye, it didn't fell rushed at all. Overall, this book was an improvement, although it still kept many questions unanswered.
